LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL. :Before the Lord Chief Baron and Baron ChannLll, Jus tices Shee, Willes, and Byles.) THE QUEEN V. ROBERTSON. Mr Littler said this was an appeal from a conviction which had taken place at Liverpool. The prisoner was a policeman, and it appeared that one evening, some time ago, he .met one Joseph Speck, who was coachman to Dr. Bowers, in ILiverpool, and after some conversation with him, told him that he (the policeman) had seen him talking to a prostitute, that he had thereby incurred a penalty of 20s , and without he gave him ss. he would take him to the Hotham-street station and lock him up. The groom who had three of his master , a horses in his custody said ho would go any where with the constable if he would allow him to take his masters' horses home, but this he refused. Just at this time a sergeant of the police passed, and the constable who was talking to Speck recognised him, and said " All right." Finding that the constable was about to take him to the lockup, Speck, in order to forego such an accusation, gave the constable 4s. 6J,, which was all the money he had, and then he went after the sergeant who had passed‘them, and told him what had taken place, and the next morning Speck and Robertson had to appear before Mr Supetintendent Sibball, and the constable was ordered into custody for attempting to extort money. An indictment of that nature was preferred against him at the Liverpool Borough Sessions under the 45th sec. of 21th and 25th of Victoria, chap. 96, for the consolidation of the acts relating to larceny, and a verdict of guilty was returned. Mr Littler, for Robertson, contended that the verdict could not be maintained, because the act did not meet the case, and also that it could not be considered a menace within the meaning of the Act, because the utmost it amounted to was a threat to accuse of anon-existing offence. He thought the accusation was of so ridiculous a character that any man of ordinary understanding would have refused to have made himself a party to it. The Lord Chief Baron said ho thought the accusation a very serious one, Mr Littler agreed with his lordship that would be so if it came within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. Every man was presumed to be acquainted with the law of the land. The Lord Chief Baron dissented from such an opinion, because the judges thexselves did not know the law in all cases. The utmost that could be said on the point was, that ignorance was not to be taken as an excuse. Mr Justice Shee said Speck did not know the policeman could not lock him up. Mr Littler said an action could have been brought. The prosecutor should have left it to the law to right him. Mr Justice Shee—Quite so ; but the law could not do that till on the following morning, and ho thought it was extremely uncomfortable to be locked up all night. After the learned counsel had quoted several eases in support of his argument, _ _ .. _ The Lord Chief Baron said the Court was unanimously of opinion that the conviction was quite right. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. :sittings in BAnco, before Lord Chief Justice Erle and Jus tices Byles and Keating) TAYLOR, APPELLANT, V. HUMPHRIES, RESPONDENT-.-TTLII BONA FIDE TRAVELLER QUESTION. This case stood for hearing till Monday. It, how ever. was galled on this afternoon. It will be remembered that the appellant was a licensed victualler in business at Moseley, a place about two miles from Birmingham, and that on Sunday morning, the 17th April, the police found in his house 30 men, who were believed to be artisans from Bir mingham, some of whom were h .wing bread and cheese and ale, and others were smoking. Before being admitted they were asked if they were " travellers," and they replied that they were. The local magistrates convicted the appellant of having his house open " otherwise than for the refresh ment of travellers," and fined him 40s. and costs. The decision was now appealed against. Chief-Justice Erie said the Court would look into the authorities and give jegment next week. SHERIFFS' COURT (Before Air Commissioner Kerr.) TOO MANY COOKS AT THE AGRICULTURAL HALL.-A NEW LAW POINT.--SMITH V. RUDKIN. This was an action to recover one day's pay, plaintiff being a cook and defendant a refreshment contractor. Plaintiff said that he was a cook and cutter, and was at his house of call on a certain occasion when a message came from the defendant that three cooks were wanted at the Agricultural Hall. Plaintiff and two more cooks went up, and upon their arrival it was found that they were not wanted, His Honour—Your action is not brought in a proper form, It should rather have been in the nature of damages for not being employed. Plaintiff—l charge a day because I lost a day. If it had not been for tho message from defendant I might have had a chance for a better job. Mr Rudkin denied that he had sent lb? three cooks, No such construction could be put upon the message. He sent word to the house of call that three cooks were wanted at the Agricultural Hall, and were to see the manager of the refreshment department at that place. The lad who took the message stated that there was no positive engagement of the plaintiff. A gneral message was left that three cooks or cutters were wanted at the hall. Plaintiff—l and my two friends were the first on the list. It is customary in our line to consider that a cook is engaged for the day when he is sent for. His Honour could not see the case in that light at all, A message had been sent that three cooks were wanted, but the persons who went were referred to the manager, who would exercise his discretion as to engaging them. Plaintiff—Oh, dear, no. When we are sent for the first man on the list answers to the first call, and so on. Then it is considered that the cook is at all events engaged for the day. His Honour thought not. There appeared to be no specific engagement, but merely a message that certain men were wanted to see the manager. The manager did not choose to engage them, and defendant was not liable. Verdict for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This day. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. On Wednesday the Lord Mayor of . Dublin and members of the Town Council, and the Vice Chancellor and Fellows of the University, presented addresses of congratulation to his Excellency Baron Wodehouse, the new Lord Lieutenant. The address from the corporation was first presented. The members of that body assembled at 11.30 a.m. in the council chamber in their robes, and proceeded thence to the Castle. The LORD MAYOR, addressing his Excellency, said that the address which was about to be read had been agreed to paragraph by paragraph, in a committee of the whole house, and wes subsequently confirmed by the council. The TOWN CLERK (Mr Henry) then read the address, which has been publisht d in our columns. His EXCELLENCY returned the following reply —My Lord Mayor, Aid erme n, end Burgesses of Dubl:n,—l thank you for the address soda have presented to ne. I accept our kind Expressions of welcome in the spirit in which they are c ffered, as a mark of loyalty and attv eh ment to our gracieuf sovereign, whom I have the high honour to represent. I need scarcely assure you that I entirely share your deep con cern at the illness which has unfortunately rendered neces sary the resignation of Lord Carlisle. Ireland has lost in him a most accomplished statesman, of whom it is not too much to say that he secured the respect of the whole community by his unvarying uprightness and honesty of purpose; whilst by the amiable qualities of his heart he has endeared himself to all who have the happiness of his acquaintance. I am encouraged in the task which I have undertaken by the knowledge that in this country, where there is perfect freedom of speech and writing, I shall have ample opportu• pity of ascertaining the opinions of all classes of the people; and 1 am glad to learn, from this address, the views of so important a body as the corporation of Dublin, for, although I have in Parliament and elsewhere paid some attention to the various questions of public interest to which you have referred, I am sure you would not ex pect that, on my first arrival amongst you, I should at. once pronounce opinions on subjects which have been and still are matters of Controversy, and concerning which 1 shall have means here of obtaining more complete and accurate information. The welfare of Ireland depends not upon the aid of the Government, but upon the energy and enterprise of Irishmen, and upon the existence of that mutual confi dence to the growth of which I rejoice to receive your tes timony. I will only add that it is my most earnest desire to see this country as prosperous as the rest of the United Kingdom ; and if I can in the slightest degree promote this end whilst I have the honour to hold the office of Lords Lieutenant, I shall feel that I have done good service, not to Ireland alone, but to the empire." After the members of the corporation had retired, The Vice-Chancellor of the University, the Rev. the Provost, and other of its members, were received by his Excellency. The Solicitor-General was also present. The VICE-CHANCELLOR read the address, which was as follows :—May it please your Excellency,—We, the Chancellor, Doctors, and Masters of the University of Dublin, beg leave to present to your Excellency our re spectful congratulations on your appointment to the high office of her Most Gracious Majesty's representative in Ireland. We lately lost, in your distinguished prede • cessor, one whose cultivated intellect, kind heart, and genial temper won for him a well-merited popularity. In his retirement from public life, which we trust will be but temporary, he bears with him the esteem and affection of all ranks and classes of Irishmen. How ever widely they may differ on questions of public policy, they must all gratefully remember his gracious and be nignant demeanour, his earnest solicitude for the in terests of the country, and his zeal—attested by lasting memorials—to do honour to the names of our illustrious dead. We rejoice to recognise in your Excellency one who, is well fitted to fill the place thus left vacant. We recollect with pleasure, that by trophies won at a sister university you gave evidence of a youth spent in the pursuit of liberal studies, and the generous rivalries of literary ambition. Since then you have not only borne honourable part in the genera work of Government, but, intrusted by your sovereign with difficult and delicate tasks, you have discharged them with fidelity, sagacity, and judgment. Nor must we forget, as a circumstance which must attract towards you the hearts of Irishmen, that, before you were connected with us by your official position, you were already bound tot his country by the closest and tenderest ties of private affection. Your Excellency comes amcngst us at a period when, after long continued depression, produced by adverse seasons and de ficient harvests, the prospects of the country appear to be again brightening. It is our earnest hope that, under your mild but firm administration, our people, more than - ever in dustrious and united, may, by the blessing of Providence, ra pidly advance in the path of peaceful progress, and may soon forget the disasters of the past in the prosperity of the present. Of the responsibility incumbent on ourselves, and the public cervices to be expected from us as members of a national university, we trust we are duly sensible, We know how powerfully the destinies of the country must be affected by the character of the education given within our walls to the most influential classes of the community. Our best exertions shall be used to fulfil the ends of our foundati on by promoting sound learning, eradicating error and preju dice, and training up the youth committed to our charge in the knowledge and practice of their duties as Christians and as citizens: His EXCELLENCY in reply said—Mr Vice-Chano ellor Doctors, and Masters of the University of Dublin, I thank you sincerely for your congratulations. The regret which you have so justly expressed for the loss of Lord Carlisle is shared, I am convinced, by all classes of Irishmen, and it must be a consolation to him in his retirement to know how completely he has won the esteem and respect of the people amongst whom he so long resided. You observe that you recollect with pleasure that I was amongst those who, at a sister university, engaged in the peaceful contests of literary rivalry. I may truly say that, although the busi ness of political life has left me but little time to pursue the studies of my youth, I gratefully acknowledge the advantages which I derived from those studies which are cultivated with such distinguished success by the uni versity which you represent. I rejoice to hear from you that the prospects of this country are brightening, and, whilst I look to the industry and union of Irishmen as the mainspring of Irish prosperity, I trust that I may fulfil, in same measure, the anticipations which you express of my administration. The University of Dublia has long held so high a place amongst the great collegiate institutions of the United Kingdom, that I need no assurance from its repre sentatives that they will continue to afford to the youth of this country the inestimable benefits of a sound and liberal education, AG Imperial decree appoints M Ferd:nand Barret, Senator, to be member of the Superior Council of Commerce and Agriculture to represent Algeria, iu the room of M. Forcade Le itequette, who replaces in the Council M. Boinvilliers, raised to the dignity of Senator. The Moniteur publishes an Imperial decree, issut d on the proposition of the 11Ainister of War, raising General Verge to the rank of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour; making four other pro molions to that of Commander; 13 Officers and 45 nominations of Knight. Another decree confers the military medal of 104 sub officers and privates of different regiments. M. L. Castel, Sccretary•General of the French Northern Railway Company, has been promoted to Officer of the Belgian Order of Leopold. In the early part of the year mention was made of an identical circular addressed by Prussia and Austria to the German Governments for the pur• pose of leading to measures against the renewal of an assembly like that of the German deputies of Dec. 21,1863, and of the committee of 36 named by that meeting. The German Journal of Frankfort now publishes that document, signed Bismark, and dated Dec. 31, 1863, and which particularly relates to the intervention of such assemblies in the ques tion of the Duchies. The circular has, therefore, at present nothing beyond a retrospective interest. THE TRAGOPAN.—Among the birds lately re ceived at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois deßoulogne there are some Tragopans, a kind of Chinese pheasant, sent over by M. Dabry, French Consul at Han-Keou These birds are called Too-Chew-Tee by the Chinese, a name meaning—" The bird that vomits flakes of silk." They are brought from the mountains of Sze- Chwen, and also from the Hoo-pay, Fokin and Kwang- Tong districts, where they are much esteemed by the in habitants, both for their plumage and the delicacy of their flesh. Viceroys and rich people always keep same in cages as curiosities. The size of the Tragopan does not exceed that of a common hen. Its plumage displays the must varied and brilliant colours. The head is jet-black with a gold-yellow crest; the eyes are large and bordered with blue ; the neck is sky• blue, the breast a fiery red ; the back and abdomen speckled white on a red ground. During summer it displays the magnifi cence of its plumage by puffing itself up and strutting about with the pride of a peacock, every now and then ut• tering a hoarse caw ; then all at once it thrusts out a tongue at least a foot long, of a beautiful blue speckled with fiery spots along the middle, at the same time two charming little blue horns make their appearance on its head. This de lightful spectacle lasts about a quarter of an hour, after which the bird withdraws its tongue, lets down its horns and subsides again into its sober toilet for common wear uttering an odd sound as if in mockery of the spectators. This bird, according to Chinese naturalists, is not only one of the wonders of nature on account of its plumage, but , t also possesses the most important viriue in the eyes of the Chinese, viz., filial piety; for the young ones take care of their parents when age or illness renders it im possible for them to provide for their own nour,sh malt. This cfl2ctionate care has procured this creature the name of Iliac-Ky, or " bird of filial piety." It is also called Py-Choo-Ky, or " bird that avoids trees," because it haunts reeks rather than woods. Its flesh is excellent, and thLehinese say has the properly of making a man intelli gent. '.1:11e Tragopan is of the pheasant family, and this is the fi►st time it has been seen in France. There is every reason to hope that it will be acelituatised. THAMES. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John Dacey, a tall, dirty, and ungainly-looking fellow, of boyish appearance, and whiskerless face, who was stated to be 23 years of age, and to be a most dangerous character, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with highway robbery. Francis Crispin, a seaman, stated that last night, between the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock, he was passing along Back Church-lane, Whitechapel, and was taking some tobacco out of his box, when the prisoner came up and pushed against him, and at the same time asked him for a piece of tobacco. He refused to give the prisoner any, and told him to " sheer off'' as quickly as he could, and if he did not he would pour a broadside into him with his fists. The prisoner swore at him and then went astern, but con , tinned to follow him. He steamed round and said to the prisoner "why do you follow me," The prisoner imme diately took his cap off and ran away. He gave chase to the prisoner,who went down a narrow alley. He soon over took and boarded the prisoner, who flung the cap away and then turned round and struck him, and before he could re cover himself pushed bim on his knees and put his hand into his left hand waistcoat pocket and attempted to take the money out. He seized the prisoner and grappled with him, on which the fellow bit his thumb, made him let go, rind again sailed away. He gave chase to the prisoner again and lost sight of him. Some time afterwards he fell in with the prisoner again, and laid hold of him again. He never let go the prisoner until a policeman born down, and he gave him into custody. Tha cap cost him 3s 61 in Dublin a few days ago, and he had not recovered it. The prisoner, who was recognised as an old offender, made no defence. W -- The prosecutor said he had recently joined a ship, and was about to proceed to sea in her. Mr Partridge said the sailor had behaved well, and the prisoner should not escape some punishment. He sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Nov. 12.—Wind this day at noon—South- Easterly; moderate breeze and fine weather, but a little cloudy.

Grey has decided, after careful considera tion and comparison with the evidence given at, the trial, of the statements made to him in behalf of Franz Muller, and after full communication with the learned Judges before whom the proceed ings took place that there is no ground which would justify him in advising her Mejesty to in terfere with the due course of law, It is satisfactory to be enabled to state that, cs the time approaches for carrying out the sentence of the law, the prisoner appears to be in a much more !Acoming state of mind, and it is evident to those about him that. ho begins to feel there is very litre hope that the exertions that are bring rondo to procure a respite will be of any avail; and, although he still retains the stolid demeam - ur that has characterised hint ever since his conviction, 'ho-$0 who are about him say that there is no doubt that a great deal of his confidence has forsaken him, and that ho is evidently impressed with the awful position in which he is placed, and there is a very general impression that at the last mo ment, if not before, ho _will make a fall confession of his guilt. He was visited on Thursday by Alderman Copland, who is one of the visi . ing magistrates of the prison, and several other aldermen. The interview was merely of a formal character, it being the duty of the visiting justices to see every prisoner confined in the gaol. He has also been visited by Haifa and Mr and Mrs B'yth, who were examined on behalf of the prosecution at the trial. These parties are all evidently on very friendly terms with the prisoner, and they seem to entertain an opinion that he is innocent of the crime, and Muller appears to be very grateful for the opinion they have formed of him. The prisoner appears to be desirous to impress upon every one about him the idea that he persists in asserting his innocence ; but it is worthy of remark that he has never upon any occasion distinctly asserted that he was innocent, and the tenor of his remarks is to the effect that the evidence did not establish his guilt. Yesterday morning Mr Under-Sheriff De Jersey paid him a formal visit, and he reminded him that the time was fast approaching when he would be removed from this world by the sentence of the law, and he exhorted him to endeavour to make his peace with God, and, as a preliminary, to make all the atonement he could in this world to his fellow-men by speaking the truth, and divulging all he knew in con nection with the dreadful crime of which he had been con victed Muller exhibited some emotion at the observations of Mr De Jersey, but made no reply; and, as has been before stated, the impression entertained by every one of the officials with whom he has come in contact, and who have watched him closely, is that his knowledge of what is going on out of doors, and the great exertions that are being made to procure a respite, alone prevents him from making a confession, and that the same feeling will probably pre vent him from doing so until he is, as it were, on the very brink of eterniiy. In consequence of the extraordinary number of applica tions that have been made on behalf of the members not only of the metropolitan but the provincial press for per mission to be present at the execution, and which were to an extent that it was absolutely impossible to comply with, Mr Alderman and Sheriff Dakin, and Mr Alderman and Sheriff Besley, and their deputies, Messrs Davidson and Do Jersey, held a conference upon the subject, and the result arrived at was, that the whole of the applications were refused, but arrangements have been made where by the public may be assured of knowing what really occurs, and that what takes place at the last moment will be made know n, It may perhaps be as well to state that, in consequence of the scene of confusion that took place within the prison upon the occasion of the execution of Hecker in 1845, the Home Secretary issued an order di recting that henceforward no stranger shouli be admitted within any prison on the morning of an execution ; and although this order is, in general, strictly enforced, the sheriffs felt that on the present occasion, having regard to the character of the crime and the extraordinary interest that has been created by it in the public mind, they ought not to undertake the responsibility of communicating the details of any statement made by the culprit with reference to the crime, if any such statement should be made by him, but that the proper course, and the one most likely to be satisfactory to the public, was that this should be done by some properly accredited representative of the press. The Lord Mayor. Warren Stormes Hale, Esq , alderman, citizen and tallow chandler, Lord Mayor, is a native of Hertfordshire, in:which county the Hale family were settled prior to the reign of Henry VIII, One member of it (Richard Hale) who came to Lmdon in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, to follow com mercial pursuits, realised an ample fortune, and, retiring to his native county, founded a grammar school, which still exists in the town of Hertford, He became a large landed proprietor and the heed of a family, which, in subsequent periods was highly distinguished, several members of it having different times been chosen as High Sheriffs ani members of Parliament for the county. Mr Alderman Hale (who was born in 1791) was the youngest of a family of seven children ; and, when only a few months old, had the misfortune to lose his father. At the early age of 12 years he was sent up to London, where ho was trained for business, under his elder brother, Mr Ford Hale, late of Cannon-street, who died a few years back, and who was a highly-respeeted member of the Cor poration for upwards of thirty years, as one of the Common Council for the Ward of Walbrook. In 1812, Mr Warren Storm Hale commenced business on his own account, and by persevering and energetic devotion fur a long series of years, has attained a commercial position of high rank in the City, and secured an ample fortune as the reward of his enterprise and industry. About the year 1833, certain discoveries and inventions, the result of scientific investigations by Chevreul and Gay Lussae, celebrated French chemists, in relation to animal and vegetable fatty acids, were brought into notice in this country by a French merchant, and Mr Hale, discerning the importance of these discoveries, became the first Eng lish manufacturer to act upon them. The changes thus introduced into the m anu f acture o f candles involved the e mployment of substa nces not genera lly used for such pur poses, and their combi nat i on by ne w processes, and the science of chemistry, and th e app li anc es of machinery en tering essentially into these processes, have received much attention from Mr Hale, and may be said to have been the main instruments of the success which he has met with. In conjunction with a sedulous attention to his own pri vate pursuits, Mr Hale has ever been characterised by a readiness and an aptitude for public business which have occasioned his being, during a long succession of yearn, selected fur the performance of various local and corporate functions. Thus, after serving a number of parochial and other offices, he was chosen, in the year 1825, as a representative of the Ward of Coleman -street in the Com mon Council, and for upwards of thirty 3 ears afterwards (and until called to assum e higher duties) he continued s o fully to enjoy the con fid ence of his fellow-citiz3ns that whatever contests took place at the successive annual elections, he -- Was uniformly re-elected without the least solicitation on his part; and in the srme sponta neous our s which he has recei ve d b een b es t owe d upon him. Fo rthe and gratifyinglast our s Years that Mr Hale was one of the C o mmon Council he held th e h onoura bl e office of Deputy to seven the Alderman of C oleman -street Ward, his friend, the late Mr Alderman Hunter, upon whose decease, in 1856, he was chosen by the unanimous voice of the electors, in a manner peculiarly honourable and flattering, to the responsible and I dignified office of Alderman of the Ward with which he had been so long and intimat e ly connec t e d. During the entare period of Mr Hale's connexion with t haseao: a m enduringan an character, has enjoy ed the Corporation, his career has been ono of singular p u o s r e t l a t n t e c l oc s mi. Governor t been called to serve on all izensof of the Bank of England, that body, of many of which he has been selected to be e h a th c e tiv m ity os a t n im l tke happiness of being the moans of eff ctin g a lar g e amo u nt of is g i o r o H d for EA T h a i s , fello w th the in proposing Mr Hale for election as alderman, described him as being " especially distinguished in the cause of education and benevolence ;" and any notice of his ser vices, however slight it may be, demands that he should; be particularly recognised as the originator and succeesfu promoter in the Corporation of two important educational establishments, which, while they redound so much to the honour of the C 4, are the means of conferring immense advantages upon the public. These institutions are the City of London School for the gins of respectable citizens and inhabitants of London, which is now one of the largest and most celebrated schools in the metropolis, and the school at Brixton, for the education and maintenance of one hundred and fifty orphan children of freemed of the City. Mr Hale has always taken a deep interest in both these establishments, and from the foundation of the City of London School, in 1834,:t0 the present time, has been the chairman of the committee for its management. From his known interest in such affairs, he has since he became an alderman, been selected to be one of the com mittee of almoners, having the chief management of the royal foundation of Christ's Hospital, He has also been chosen by the corporation as one of the six members repre , . seating them at the Thames Conservancy Board, and he is, in addition, in the Commission of the Peace for the county of bliSdlescx, and also for the city of West minster. He is likewise director of the Metro politan Railway Company, of a the London and Lancashire Fire and Life Insurance Company, and of the New Zea land Banking Corporation. In the year 1858- 9 , Mr Alderman Hale efficiently fi lled the office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex. His colleage was Mr Alderman Condor. wile, on account of age and infirmity, has since retired from public life.

AUSTRIA. A communication from Vienna of the Bth says: —Count Mensdorff lately sent for Count Karolyi, the Austrian representative at Berlin , to obtain from him an exact account of the state of Prussian affairs. This is considered a proof of the desire felt by the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs to re mein on friendly relations with P 1 11FSiO. The Forcing the Ltraits cf Sinicnosaki. The _Mid/cur contains the following report from Rear Admiral J.luriz, commanding the French naval division in the ChiL-eso waters:— " The Minister of Marine and the Colonies has received despatches from Rear Admiral Jaurtz,ccm., mandant in chief of tle naval division in the CH n: se waters, containing en aceeunt of the expedi tion sent against the batteries which defend the entry of the Straits of Simonosaki, by the cnm• bined natal forces of France, England, Holland, and the United St&tcs. " On the 31 of September the Semiramis frigate, the Dupleix corvette, and the advice boat Tancrede, went to the anchorage in front of the island of lii. mesima, the place of rendezvous of the allied forces. Oa the 4th, i❑ the evening, the admirals, after mak., ing a reconnaissance on board of her Britannic Majesty's corvette Coquette, made the following dispositions for attacking the b•tteries, which was to be effected on the following day. " The corvettes formed a line the length of the south coast of the Strait ; the weakest vessels draws ing the least water remaining under steam, took en echarpe all the batteries by enfilading the length of the north coast from Cape Kansaki. In fine, the two admirals' frigates, the Euryalus and the Semis ramis, advancing between the two lines, directed their fire against the batteries which appeared the most likely to offer the strongest resistance. Oa the sth, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, each of the vessels was at its post, and the small light squadron under steam, when the admirals made the signal to commence firing. For 20 minutes the fire of the Japanese was very brisk, but when the light squad• ron came to take part in the attack, presenting their broadsides, and opened fire with their largest artils lery, the enemy was compelled to evacuate the batteries. At half-past five all resistance had ceased. O❑ the 6th, at daybreak, the battery situ• ated facing Cape Mose Saki again opened fire on the corvettes Dupleix and Tartare. The first shot, well directed, taking the Dupleix en enfilade, the commandant De Franclieu, hastened to take a more advantageous fighting position ; this movement having been rapidly executed, while the Tartars maintained a well-sustained fire, the battery was promptly reduced to silence by the two corvettes. At eight o'clock a corps was landed, composed of 1,200 English, 350 French, and 250 Datchmen, which took possession of the beach at the sameplace where during the previous year the landing com pany of the Semiramis and three companies of Afri can light infantry executed a brilliant and daring coup de main, The Japanese then retired preci pitately before the allied troops, who carried off 22 pieces of bronze cannon of large calibre and two mortars, and advanced to the faubourgs of Si monosaki. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the order to embark having been given, our landing coma panics went to their beats, when the English came upon an entrenched camp, defended by numerous troops and five pieces of cannon. Received With a very brisk fire of musketry, our allies threw thema selves into the camp and forced the enemy to evacuate it, but this engagement cost them 10 men killed and about 30 wounded, among whom were the flag cap-, tain of Vice Admiral Kuper and 2 efficLrs. Tee ritb, Bth, end 9;h were employed in destroying the store houses and powder magazines, and completing the embarkation of the cannon. In the meantime, fear corvettes, doubling Cape Mose Saki, compelled the evacuation of the batteries and the Isle of Ihkesima. The admirals, doubling Point Kibune and entering the China Sea on board the Coquette, found that the Strait of Simonosaki had been forced at all points. The total loss of the allies amounted to 13 men killed and 60 wounded ; the French division lost 2 men killed and 9 wounded. There were 60 bronze cannon and 3 mortars altogether embarked on board the vessels. Bear Admiral Jaurez, in giving an account to the Minister of Marine of this brilliant feat of arms, pays the highest compliment to the officers placed under his orders, as well as to the seamen. Every one rivalled another in ardour and courage, and the gunners gave proofs of the greatest ability. " On the 10th the allied divisions cast anchor before the town of Simonosaki, and a Minister from Nagato, furnished with full powers, went to the admirals to ask for the cessation of hostilities, to agree with them on the bases of a convention, of which the following are the piincipal dispositions : —" The opening of the ,Straits of Simonosaki to the ships of all nations ; the batteries'are neither to be armed nor repaired ; the allied powers are to re• eeive an indemnity, of which the amount shall be eventually fixed by their representatives at Yeddo. On the 16th of September, at the moment of the departure of the courier, the admirals ex pected the ratifications, and prepared far their re.. turn to Yokohama." We have been favoured with the following ec. count of the recent fighting in Japan:— "H.M.S. Euryalus, Straits of Simonosaki, Sept. 10. " We ar rived here last Sunday with all our fleet except Pelorus, Racehorse, and Kestrel, which were left at Yokohama. On Monday we engaged the forts, but did not close in this ship. After the forts were silenced by the evening we prepared to take them with our rifle company and marine battalion next morning. At seven we were ready, and I took my company and got ashore without resist ance. Then we climbed the heights, such a fatiguing business as it was, thick covers and so steep. We wound over a hill, and came ea wn the other side into a battery mounting about 15 large guns. We found it almost deserted, and we planted the English and French coloars on the parapet. We then set to work capsizing the guns and carrieg,:s, which was done very q sickly, es we had so many men. We stayed there till about four p.m., popping away et the Japanese who came down the hill behind the battery amongst the trees. Then we were getting annoyed by some field battery and rifles, when we were ordered to advance and capture them. The Marines took the heights and we the paddy fields of rice. We were under a sharp fire of rifles and guns till about 5 p.m.; then we got into a road and went towards them at a gallop, firing as we advanced behind trees and shrubs. We got within a few yards, when we commenced to lose men right and left, The first I saw carried by me to the foot Capt. Alexander, sh o t r i g ht th roug h the ankle. Then other men f e ll about dead. re andar was a n an d wounded. We pushed on and took four guns, and drove them from their stockade, which Was set after a on fire by our men. The Japanese ran off, r leaving us in p ossess i on o f it. Th en we back to our b a tt ery; th en em b ar k e d again lied hard day's work. Those who have been wounded have been severely so, being from bullet and arrow wounds; some I believe to have been poisoned. The chief opposite to Prince Nagato is quite friendly, and we can land and walk about. In faot our dead are buried on that shore, and the Japanese declare they will see that no one touches the graves. The gun we have on board is about 11 inches in EA meter arc`. 9 feet long, weighing between 6 and 7 tons. Tho mortar is a beauty, 13 inch, and a ll the guns are broi ze in the lul >rid Stn."

Without much digging it is easily perceived that the mountain of the island is of igneous composition. Some of the trunks are rotten or bear marks of carbonisation; others are hard and have pie served their f )rms. Some, 2G inches in diameter and more, stand in water, and still preserve the appearance of wood. Many acorns and fir apples may be seen there bearing marks of petrifaction. There are many trees there which, when struck with a hatchet, will crumble into dust. There are pieces of petrifi ed wood which emit a metallic sound, and on some of the hills circular strata are perceived formed of trunks still covered with bark. M. Erman states that similar deposits abound in Siberia. Dur• ing his travels in that country he visited Jakoutsk, on the Lena River, where the soil is composed of marl, fine com mon, and lerruginous magnetic sand, to the depth of a t least l'O feet. These strata were deposited there by water, which must have covered the whole country up to the Polar Sea. In the deepest places there are branches and roots of beech and willow; and as the Lena annually forms new islands, similar remains are observable on the ground thu s laid bare. Everywhere throughout these immense beds the fossil bones of antediluvian animals are to be found mingled with vegetable remains. In Norway, Mr Hooker was s!ruek with the feet that large trees f,r merly grew on the island of Qusleen, where Lammerfest lies; the only vegetation now existing there being a few stunted birch trees. Some large trunks of the same species aro still standing, their bark being sill distinguishable. Now, since the air of Qualoon possesses remarkable preser• vative qualities, it is not impossible that th ese rema i ns of trees may date from many centuries back, such trees not having been seen to grow there within the memory of man.
